Synopsis

You might think she’s got grit, or you might think she’s full of shit. Either way, you’ll think something. And that, my friend? That’s a win!

This once-homeless, uneducated teen mum stumbled into a life in prison – but not in the way bias may lead you to believe...

Packed with raw, unfiltered humour to make you snort-laugh and cringe at the same time, this isn’t your typical motivational, feel-good, or self-help blah. It’s a no-holds-barred, mostly true, darkly hilarious story about a woman who lives by the motto: I’d rather regret something I’ve done than regret something I haven’t.

If you’re still reading, you can probably handle the truth and likely the occasional C-bomb. However, if you are a prude, a judgmental type, a know-it-all, a troll, or dislike the author… you can f*ck off!
